Love Aaj Kal
–mocking or loving Sikhs?
WSN Bureau
This
movie, with the central character as a Sikh played by Saif Ali Khan,
the son of the illustrious actress Sharmila Tagore, who is the
chairperson of the Censor Board is slated for release during this
month, is already the talk of Sikh circles for its purported story
line undermining Sikh ethos.
While the actor
himself has claimed that “he has been careful while playing the Sikh
character”, Sikhs in Mumbai are planning to petition the Censor
Board for a preview before it hits the cinema stands.
According to information gathered by the Sikh Media Watch group of
Mumbai, the film, directed by Mr Imtiaz Ali mocks at the Sikhs and
compromises Sikh religious values in a bad, humiliating and
derogatory manner.
